The Cure is Murder – Chapter 20

Story
Lower Austria

But what does it stand for? I have the code, but I need the solution. Dammit!

I have to make a list. Will I have time? Will she understand? 

How can I get it to her? The pool! At daybreak. I´ll enter via the women´s side. Stick a page through the slits of her locker. I can do that any time. Don´t have to wait until daybreak.

 For Sabrina N.

The beware list:

Hysterical women

The powers that be

The forces of order

Artificial intelligence

Artificial anything

Cover up

Undercover

 

I´ll fold it and put it in the women’s change room. No one is around. I can jump in from over there. A towel is a towel.

There´s a lump in my throat. It´s getting hard to breathe. I need to cool down. Into the water. My legs won´t move. My arms are like lead. I´m going. Going. Gone.
